Investigate if exceptions in akka's actors kill them.
If so, implement exception handlers like the one made for mconf-live:

Actors are being killed by unhandled exceptions. Tested throwing an exception when a public chat message is sent at the meeting actor.

To avoid the actor's death, adapted this supervisorStrategy implementation:
